Growth drivers promoting the growth of packaging industry:

 

SMEs involved in the food packaging industry will continue to see sustained growth, due to the expansion of the food processing industry in an under-served Indian market. The growth of the Indian food processing sector has nearly doubled to 13.7 per cent during the last four years. There are opportunities and challenges. The Indian processed food industry is experiencing a major boom due to an increasingly urbanized population and a shift in their dietary habits. Ready-to-eat food products and microwaveable or quick reheat meals are becoming popular on the shelves of India's retail outlets. Packaging is extremely crucial to the success of the food product being sold. It has aesthetic, functional and safety attributes that influence their success with the consumer. Advances in packaging materials and techniques are helping food processors position their products in newer segments. Packaging has become an important differentiator for brands. The quality of labeling and graphics has also undergone a major shift. Overall, the trend is that Indian packaged food is coming of age to confirm to international standards. The major trends that are having a major effect on food packaging innovations are convenience of usage, sustained freshness and increased shelf life and brand positioning.
